Here's a new bud on Neostylis Lou Sneary 'Bluebird.'

Look what I found when moving the cyms!! Cym faberi has a spike!!! Hope it looks like this. http://www.flickr.com/photos/t...

Buds on this white catt look like my C. intermedia buds.

Lost the tag on this! Looks like a nobile den but the leaves are fuller. I guess I'll know soon....

Kathy,
Where on the dendrobian cane does the spike appear?
During the last storm, I brought all my plants inside and set them on the sunporch floor and my
knuckleheaded dogs tail broke the top of den. 'Bobby Messina' off
There were 8 leaves ( I think) and it broke in half.
Is there any hope for a spike on this poor plant?

The top half probably won't grow roots (you can try putting it lying on a bed of wet sphagnum and see if roots grow) but if it's determined to spike it may spike down on the lower half.

Is this a spike or a root on my phal? It's growing between two leaves and you can see where I cut the old spike down.

This is a Paph Hybrid (Satin Veil 'Butterscotch'X Stone Lovely 'Butterpuff') Looks like it's going to be a short one.

Susan, that looks like a root to me, if it's a spike, it has some 3d detail and is usually very solid light green. Similar to Kathy's picture above of
the noid den. even when they are just visible to the naked eye there is usually some detail.

Root.
Short but sweet!!! Wish some of mine would wake up!

its a root susan. Wow can't wait to see the paph open.!

The paph is getting closer.

Oh! Looks great!!

Susan,
I found this phal. spike-ette yesterday morning, you can see how there's some detail here
that you don't see on a root-let.

How exciting about your paph, bloom! I'm not sure that I'm giving mine what they need, mine are
in suspended animation

Today.

Wow Kathy! Lots of activity at your house!

I used to be in crises in fall but now I'm in spike!

Spike is better.

Jim

It sure is!
